Ever since Rafa joined........

[sitoca]

we always have some blockbuster showdown per season...

1st season: Michael Owen left for Real Madrid

2nd season: Steven Gerrard's saga

3rd season: Takeover talks. DIC gives deadline to Moores resulting in G+H taking over.

4th season: Rafa vs G&H over transfer issue

Did I left out anything else? God's return?

Its hard being a liverpool fan but then again I bet no other clubs come close in terms of excitement and emotional value!!

I want the easy life.

Take the rough with the smooth.

For every Gerrard transfer request there is a Cup final, for every managerial uncertainty there is a last minute winner against the blue****e.

That's football.

I love it.

Our club has had to endure more tragedy and heartache than almost any other club. Likewise, we have enjoyed some of the greatest moments in the history of the sport.

These are the things that make us great, steep us in glory, and unite us. After this whole affair is over I hope the club is tighter and stronger as a product.

We'll go back to moaning about the team once this is over mate. Its funny that all the people who moaned about our 'style' and questioned if Rafa was the man to lead us to number 19 are now more Pro Rafa then Rafa himself. Kinda just shows that people arent happy unless they have somethig to moan about.

It's human nature I suppose. And from the looks of things Rafa likes a good moan as much as the rest of us.

Now that is a quality post!!

Just at times like this I tend to think, "why us?"!!

I have been thinking.......and I believe Rafa is the problem. His personality and behaviour is causing all the problems including the current saga.

How many of his staff that came along with him has left and gone back to Spain? Even Pako, his good friend of more than 10 years couldn't take it no more. The only one left is Alex Miller, the rest came in over the last 2 seasons.

It might be his work ethics that is causing the rift. Thus, this might be the reason why both Parry and Hicks are now making their stand.......


Anyone knows if he has similar records at his previous clubs like Valencia, Tenerife, Extremadura?

Anyone found out what the Count is saying as he is always a ray of light with his great track record for these situations.

He has had problems with the people upstairs at most of the clubs he's been at I believe.

IMO it stems from a desperate will to succeed and I for one am glad we have a manager that kicks off if he thinks those around him could be doing more for LFC.

His work ethics get results and its a results business. Results also make money which Hicks needs to understand.

Fine line, Chelsea?

Fine line, Chelsea?

Chelsea dont count.

They are riddled with debt but they are more of a play thing than a business. Roman can clear that debt quite easily.

As I have said I think Rafa is the man for the job long term as you can easily see his long term plan is to do what Wenger is doing. If these guys want to maximise returns then Rafa is the best man for the job as the only other person doing what Rafa is trying to do is not available.
